Terrific nose with some framing oak that will blow off with air. Deep cherry, some dark red cherry, mineral, earth, spice and some florals. Huge palate impact with gorgeous fruit. Unreal fruit and buffered by very good acidity and a fine, slippery texture. Just terrific fruit clarity and precision with lovely spice that echoes on the finish. Some mint and menthol coming in on the nose but this needs more air. Will be back. Really wonderful finesse here as well. As this airs the fruit gets silkier and sweeter. 23 more and more reminding me of 19 once it gets proper aeration. — 8 months ago

Nose is lemon, some discreet wood. vanilla extract, lanolin and an intense stony minerality. Sweet lime as well and just stunning aromatic depth and vividness. 9.4 nose. Great cut and almost zero wood on palate and what is there is lovely and complementary to the awesome acidity and freshness. Really long. Such a mineral bomb. Long. Wow this really drinks well for $32? A great wine. — 2 years ago

Lives up to its name. Maraschino cherries on the nose. Bright, soft, mild acidity, great with a chill on it - would be perfect on a warm spring afternoon. — 6 years ago

Killer nose that is deep and resonant. Unreal dark red cherries that border on black. Such purity. Just stunning. Nose is airy and so deep. Sick. Better aromas than 19 Narbantons. Blueberry, flowers, so lush, so deep. Just wonderful. 9.6 nose. Palate has insane energy and just absurd fruit. Sapid, energetic and so concentrated. Wow this is so good. The depth is off the charts and the tannins cut like a saber but remain velvety and sweet. What a wine. Stunning depth and freshness and red/blue/black fruits. My god the tannins on 23 Girards are stunning. This is a remarkable year for Girard. Unreal wine. — 7 months ago

Big, brambly nose with lots of red cherries, mid season sour cherries, earth and mineral. Really clean and evocative. Palate is juicy and so precise. Very clean and a lovely mineral/fruit wash on the finish. Great depth, freshness and terrific concentration. Not elegant but this wine never is. It has such impact for little $$. Nice, ripe tannins and serious structure. This is always best at 5 years old. — 8 months ago

The perfect wine to wind down a long week. Bright fruit flavors of raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, and a bit of cherry cola also. Fun and casual. 100% Counoise. 4/7/23. — 3 years ago

This was a surprise. The body was lighter than I expected, the nose practically busting with forest floor and dusty ripe red fruits, dusty tannins, but for this meal it paired perfectly. Drank at Arnaud’s in New Orleans. #pinotforpresident — 4 years ago

Superstar of old-style Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Once it was very tannic and drying it’s now evolved into a wine of sweet pipe tobacco and cherry cola. Still dry, elegant and perfumed — 7 years ago
